Face the Fall Season With These Beauty and Health Tips

Every season requires a different focus to keep your skin and body healthy. During the fall, as the temperature drops, adapting your regular routine to the weather will help skin maintain its natural glow. Use these fall beauty & health tips to help you transition your routine to meet the cooler fall weather.  

Believe it or not, when the weather gets colder the body can lose fluid the same way it does in hotter climates. Because of heavier layers of clothing, and higher rates of energy being used in colder climates, your body sweats out fluid. Maintaining an appropriate intake of water will help to keep the skin supple. Drinking more water will also help combat dry skin as well, which can come from the drop in temperature.

Vitamin D is essential in the body. It helps promote calcium absorption which is necessary for strong bones.* The fall season brings shorter daylight hours which means less vitamin D can be taken in from the sun. Keeping vitamin D levels at their recommended levels can come from food sources like salmon or tuna. Taking a quality vitamin D supplement will also help to ensure vitamin D levels don’t drop too low.

Along with keeping a consistent skincare routine, introducing a humidifier at home or the office during the fall can boost hydration. Because the cooler months often lead to more dryness, humidifiers are a good option to add moisture to the air. The more moisturized the air, the better your skin will be able to absorb it.

Not only does vitamin C help keep you healthier during the colder months it also works to combat SPF rays from damaging your skin.* Even though the amount of sun is diminished with the shorter daylight hours there is still the chance of the sun’s SPF rays not fully being blocked by your sunscreen. Vitamin C can also even skin pigmentation, helping boost collagen production which results in a brighter complexion.*

Using a good moisturizer will help alleviate dry skin but during the fall months an exfoliator will help the moisturizer work even better. Sloughing off the dead skin cells will help reveal softer skin underneath. Then once the moisturizer is applied the skin will be able to absorb it better to maintain soft, supple skin. Many dermatologists recommend prioritizing the combination of exfoliation and hydrating with a moisturizing cream during the fall season.   

Research has shown that over 80% of Americans are deficient in vitamin E.* This fat-soluble nutrient works as a powerful antioxidant that plays a role in protecting the cells from free radicals. Vitamin E is also said to help repair skin damage by nourishing dry skin.*
